Lord Jonas the Quiet
  
 
 Sculptor: Julie Guthrie
 Made By: Emperors Choice (and Grenadier before them, and Dark Ages after them)
 Date Started:  some time in March, 2002
 Note: from box 8 of the EC boxed sets  (#8809 from the Dark Ages line)
  (this is also Julie Guthrie's Grenadier figure "Knight w. Sword", #8809)

 this project was all about producing a cloak that was painted with translucent layers to achieve a blended look. I needed a miniature with a large billowing cloak, but also one that was small enough to finish in a reasonable amount of time. The figure titled "Lord Jonas the Quiet" (aka "Knight with Two-Handed Sword", from Grenadier and Dark Ages) fit the bill perfectly. The hardest part was to keep the shading colors from becoming too dark. As you can see, I didn't always get it right. But it was fun to do, and taught me quite a bit which was all that I wanted.
